THis is wonderful, but would love to hear about the themes of this session with respect to other craft forms (jewelry, ceramics, etc). Thanks! 02:00:51 Rachel Messerich: Thanks for that observation Mary! We'll keep that in mind if and when we organize future Forums. 02:01:23 mark: Very important observation 02:01:55 Loni Gray: yes what are they doing with their own product lines? 02:01:56 bodinca: I hope you organize future forums. 02:02:07 Loni Gray: agreed 02:02:14 Olga Alexander: i agree maryraivel, need to widen the scope and include other designers from other disciplines! 02:02:58 celeste: I agree with Maryraivel as well; it would be great to see more diversity 02:03:16 Olga Alexander: yes need more diversity!! 02:03:31 BetteLinderman: This forum/presentations are so worthwhile and informative - hopefully, post-Covid you will continue to have ZOOM presentations 02:03:47 Katrin Zimmermann: agree! 02:03:57 Anna Danilova: I hope so too 02:04:51 Vallejo Gantner: onassis.org/enter 02:04:53 Lesley Roberts: This entire series has been so informative and inspiring. Thank you all for the effort putting the event(s) together. . . 02:06:25 mark: textile artists have a relatively obvious pivot path. ACC might explore pivots for other media. Please! 02:08:47 afinkelstein: Similar to AirBnB experiences… curious to know which classes have proved to be most popular.. and what is the price that has surfaced that reflects what most people are willing to spend. 02:10:13 Indrani de Silva: Soulful connection filling the gap 02:10:34 Loni Gray: yes, makers pivots and practices. 02:10:40 Carol K: 'To nurture each spirit?! 02:12:26 maryraivel: How is ACC (and others) reimagining their in-person craft shows given the pandemic? Understand artists need to try to diversify and pivot—how about the craft show producers? Have you heard from collectors and regular craft show attendees about their concerns. Artists are severely affected but concerned about safety at in-person craft shows as well. 02:13:21 Loni Gray: yes how are the trade organizations stepping up to support their artisans in this new world 02:13:28 yoshikowada: It is helpful to hear from Funding organizations and creators of events for artists/artisans like Vallejo to know what they are looking for. 02:13:33 mark: Very key question! 02:13:49 Vallejo Gantner: thanks everyone! 02:13:54 Vallejo Gantner: hireartists.org 02:14:00 Vallejo Gantner: and onassis.org/enter 02:14:38 Vallejo Gantner: https://hireartists.org/ 02:14:44 sjones14: It feels like artists need to be more involved as policy makers because it seems too easy for the "powers that be" to focus on keeping us "safe" while we have no way to have our venues and shows turn back into viable avenues to make a living. 02:14:49 Vallejo Gantner: https://www.onassis.org/enter/about 02:14:59 Indrani de Silva: Yea! 02:15:08 Lesley Roberts: Great News! 02:15:17 sjones14: ...after hearing what he said about Greece vs. the US... 02:15:39 Loni Gray: thank you all 02:15:39 BetteLinderman: Yes!! Wonderful 02:15:46 Vallejo Gantner: great! 02:15:48 Rachel Messerich: @maryraivel and @Loni Gray, very good questions! Sorry we didn't get to them in this session, but this is something we're thinking about and exploring in our own work around our craft shows. I'll be sure to highlight this question in our post-forum summary.
